Description

Integrated Microbial Fuel Cells for Wastewater Treatment is intended for professionals who are searching for an innovative method to improve the efficiency of their wastewater treatment processes by exploiting the potential of microbial fuel cells technology. Divided into four parts, the book begins with an overview of the “state-of-the-art” electrochemical systems, the fundamentals of MFC technology, and its potential to enhance treatment efficiency and reduce electricity generation cost. The book's editors discuss the integration, installation and optimization of MFC into conventional wastewater treatment processes such as activated sludge process, lagoons, constructed wetlands and membrane bioreactors.

Finally, the book explores the application of MFC integrated systems for large scale wastewater treatment and the challenges which are inherent in scale up process.

About the Author

Rouzbeh Abbassi

Dr Abbassi has a Bachelor of Civil Engineering and a Master and PhD of Environmental Engineering. Upon completion of his PhD, he undertook two years postdoctoral research experience in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial University and two years postdoctoral research experience in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. He served as Senior Lecturer at the Australian Maritime College (AMC) at the University of Tasmania prior to joining the School of Engineering at Macquarie University. He is a registered professional engineer (P. Eng) in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). His research interests lie in two interrelated fields: firstly, modelling the fate and transport of contaminants within different environmental media and secondly, developing the methodologies, models and software tools for integrated risk and safety and environmental management of large scale infrastructures. He has authored over 80 research articles in peer reviewed journals and conferences on environmental, safety, and risk engineering subjects. He is a member of the editorial boards of the Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries and the Journal of Integrated Security Science.
